Provided are an access method and transmission point. In the embodiments of the present invention, indication information sent by a second transmission point is received by means of a first transmission point and is used for indicating that said second transmission point supports relay functionality, such that said first transmission point is capable of accessing, according to the indication information, the wireless access network on which the second transmission point is located; thus the first transmission point is taken as a relay node and accesses the wireless access network.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). The method for operating a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station, configuration information of an initial active uplink bandwidth part (UL BWP) and corresponding random access resource; based on the configuration information of the initial active UL BWP and the corresponding random access resource, determining corresponding physical random access channel (PRACH) occasions; and performing random access procedure based on the determined PRACH occasion.

An application function (AF) device may identify a user equipment (UE) and may send, to a network exposure function (NEF) device, a battery level request message concerning a battery of the UE. The AF device may obtain, from the NEF device, based on sending the battery level request message, a battery level report, and may cause, based on the battery level report, at least one action to be performed.

A UE may receive, from at least one cell via at least one bit in a MIB or a SIB, a barring indication based on a supported network of the at least one cell and a supported network of the UE. The supported network of the at least one cell may correspond to a TN or an NTN, and the supported network of the UE may correspond to a TN or an NTN. The UE may skip, based on the received barring indication, a selection of the at least one cell for communication. Accordingly, the UE may not camp on the at least one cell. The barring indication for NTN-supporting UEs and for TN-supporting UEs may be separately indicated via the MIB or the SIB.

Systems and methods for closed subscriber group identity (CSG ID) allocation for radio access network (RAN) sharing between different wireless telecommunication network providers can include a second CSG administration server receiving a unique first list of CSG IDs from a first CSG administration server, comparing the CSG IDs of the unique first list with a unique second list of CSG IDs associated with the second CSG administration server, and automatically adding to the unique second list ones of the CSG IDs from the unique first list that are absent from the unique second list. If a first one of the CSG IDs from the unique first list is already assigned in the unique second list, a new E-UTRAN Cell Global Identifier (ECGI) is added for use with the first one of the CSG IDs and sent therewith to the first CSG administration server to be added to the unique first list.

An access control method and a communications device are provided. The method includes: sending first information and/or first indication information to a first target end, where the first information includes at least one of the following: index information of a second authentication server, vendor-related information of the first communications device, and address-related information of the second authentication server; and the first indication information is used for requesting to obtain a credential related to a first network, or used to indicate that an access type is a restricted service.
